Not all moms-to-be can exercise. Women with pre-existing conditions (like asthma and diabetes) or pregnancy-related ones, such as low placenta, bleeding, a history of miscarriages, or premature births shouldn\u2019t exercise unless advised by a doctor!

Among them are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>DIMINISHED DISCOMFORT<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most common complaints from pregnant ladies are constipation and swelling. Keeping your body in motion regularly can help you reduce those unpleasant pregnancy effects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li><strong>STRESS MANAGEMENT&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With all the hormonal changes occurring during pregnancy, it\u2019s common for expecting women to be stressed frequently. That\u2019s something that can be harmful to the baby and the mom, so it should definitely be addressed. Fortunately, exercising is well known for managing stress levels!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\"><li><strong>WEIGHT REGULATION<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It is completely normal to gain weight during pregnancy. However, some women have more predisposition to do so, and most often than not, it is something that affects their self-esteem. Besides having a nice, nutritious diet, exercising regularly during pregnancy is a great way to regulate weight gain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\"><li><strong>IT IS GREAT FOR THE MIND<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no news that exercise is fantastic for feeling great mentally. With all the changes that come with pregnancy and motherhood, it\u2019s super important to make sure you\u2019re getting the right amount of endorphins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/happy-pregnancy-maternity-concept-young-pregnant-female-wearing-sunglasses-enjoying-fresh-air-warm-weather-outside-sitting-swimming-pool-wooden-floor-laughing-cheerfully_273609-1448-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/happy-pregnancy-maternity-concept-young-pregnant-female-wearing-sunglasses-enjoying-fresh-air-warm-weather-outside-sitting-swimming-pool-wooden-floor-laughing-cheerfully_273609-1448-1.jpg 626w, https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/happy-pregnancy-maternity-concept-young-pregnant-female-wearing-sunglasses-enjoying-fresh-air-warm-weather-outside-sitting-swimming-pool-wooden-floor-laughing-cheerfully_273609-1448-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\"><li><strong>PREPARATION FOR LABOR<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A few physical activities like yoga and pilates can have classes specifically designed for pregnant women! In those prenatal classes, exercises focus on breathing and calming technics, as well as strengthening exercises that will be really useful during labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EXERCISES THAT ARE SAFE TO MOMS-TO-BE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, pregnant women should avoid high-impact and radical sports, like horseback riding, skiing, and scuba diving. Some safe practices for most women that are expecting are walking, swimming, yoga, pilates, low-impact aerobics, and gentle strength training! All these practices are great for the mind, muscles, joints, and bones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/pregnant-woman-practicing-yoga_1303-12888-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/pregnant-woman-practicing-yoga_1303-12888-1.jpg 626w, https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/pregnant-woman-practicing-yoga_1303-12888-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW MUCH SHOULD MOMS-TO-BE EXERCISE?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, when we are talking about low to moderate-intensity exercise, the recommended amount of time is 2-3 hours per week. And pay attention to the \u201cper week\u201d! Try to balance the amount of exercise on a daily basis (maybe doing 30 minutes each weekday, for example). This is a safer approach to exercising while expecting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WARNING SIGNS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is rare for a healthy pregnant woman to need to stop exercising, it can happen &#8211; and you should know what the warning signs are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dizziness;<\/li><li>Trouble breathing;<\/li><li>Blood or fluids leaking from the vagina;<\/li><li>Pain or swelling in the legs;<\/li><li>You can\u2019t feel your baby moving;<\/li><li>Regular contractions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel any of these signs, stop what you\u2019re doing and call emergency rapidly, ok?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/beautiful-pregnant-woman-relaxing-near-blue-pool-swimsuit_104603-8050-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/beautiful-pregnant-woman-relaxing-near-blue-pool-swimsuit_104603-8050-1.jpg 626w, https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/beautiful-pregnant-woman-relaxing-near-blue-pool-swimsuit_104603-8050-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know about all the benefits exercising during pregnancy can have on your body and mind!
